Death and pain





I have seen so much pain, so much hurt

Sometimes I wish I could just make everything better

I wish I could make the pain of everyone go away



Deaths can happen from suicide, cancer, aids, shootings and a whole lot of other stuff

Yesterday my friends brother killed him self

He over dosed on speed

She came into class crying

I thought maybe her boyfriend broke up with her

But then she told me she didn’t want to talk about it

But I made her

Then she told me about it

I cried with her



My friend died a couple years ago

He got shot

He was in a gang

And all he wanted was to be respected

As I stood by his bed

I told him that I respected him a lot

And if he left me I would make sure every one would be respected

That was when I realized that he wasn’t there anymore

I cried

I still cry



My friend has aids

She got it from prostituting

She told me that I couldn’t get it

But I still was careful around her

I didn’t want her to get sick

She would get a cold and she wouldn’t be able to go to school

I watched her on her deathbed

Her blond hair was falling out every time I brushed it for her

Her pale face looked like a ghost

I painted her toenails and fingernails

And when she was about to pass I sang her favorite song

It was amazing grace

I looked into her blue eyes while I sang

She looked at me with so much pride

When I finished she told me

I had to care for everyone the way I cared for her

I promised her I would



And now holding all my memories of all my friends that have died

Or that has been made fun of or beat up I show them respect

People with a disease I well look in there eyes and remember all my friends



And I hope you well show everyone respect and not make fun of him or her and to care for everyone
